SOUND SLEEPERS.
A Pcculiarity of Some of the
Peasants in Russia.

During the long days of summer the
Russian peasants live almost without
sleep, except that which they snatch
at odd moments-at meal-tlmc espe-
cially. Naturally they acquire facil-
ity of falling asleep anywhere, and
MIR. Robert Bremner gives a rather
entertaining sketch of their perform
ances in that line, in his Excursions
in the interior of Russia" Some OF
the numerous sufferers from insomnia
may well read it with envy. Poverty
and hard manual labor have at least
some compensation.
What struck us most in regard to
these slumbering scenes was the sud
denness with which the men fell into
reposc. Some people are said to be
able to command sleep the moment
they court its favors; andt the Russian
would seem to have the same power,
| for he is asleep as soon as his tools
are thrown down.
One moment of the vacant hour is
given to a scanty meal Gan onion and
piece of rye bread need but little
carving and all the rest is bestowed
on what, next to drinking, seems to
be their favorite dissipation.
The positions they choose for this
purpose are often most surprising.
Where a piece Of pavement is under
repair, in crowded street, you may
see them sleeping among the stones
and mud, liable to be run over by the
first wheel
A droschky man falls asleep stand
ing by his horse's shoulder and lean
ing his head on the poor animal
which never moves an ear for fear OF
disturbing him. In short, a Russian
sleeps in every attitude, and on every
kind of bed-sitting or standing-on
the top of dung-carts, or perched on a
load of stones.
Sometimes the post which he takes
up is still more dangerous. We have
seen workmen stretched on the ROOT
which they had been repairing; and
passing along the quays you may see
them at any time soundly asleep on
the narrow parapet, where, If they
turn but from the right side to the
left, they have not an inch to save
them from rolling in the deep river
| below.
They may even be seen fast ASLEEP
| in the sun on the narrow edge OF q
loaded barge, near the strongest part
of the stream; yet so sound is theil
repose that though you watch them
till their short hour is out, you will
not see them move limb nor feature
Tell the peasant of his danger in thus
exposing himself, demonstrate with
him on his idle rashness, and he will
not understand you. He does moi
know what fear is; his fatalism makes
him careless OF life Youths Com

Irish Bishop and British Rule.

PARIS, October 22.-Monsignor Per-
sico, papal envoy to Ireland, has re-
turned to this city. 1t is stated that
at an audience had with Cardinal
Rampolla, papal secretary of
state, Monsignor Pereico de-
clared that his reception in
Ireland could not have been more sat
isfactory. The political situation in
this country, he said, was unchanged,
the Roman Catholic Bishops finding
themselves unable, even in the inter-
ests of the church, to change their at
titude towards the British govern
meut.

THE LABOR PARTY.
fOI Il Nationa
Conference i'm December.

ST. LOUIS, October 23.-Prelimin-
ary arrangements have been made for
the holding in this city about the
middle of December OF con-
ference of all labor political
elements or factions in the
country, at which there will be repre-
sentatives from all sections of the
United States. The object of the con-
ference is said to be to harmonize all
factions of the Labor party under one
banner for the campaign next year,
and to adopt general platform. An
other purpose is to decide upon new
name, one in which the. word "labor''
will not appear. National Free Soil"
party is the name which it is thought
will be adopted. 1t is expected that
Henry George will be prominent
figure in the conference and that it
will adopt his land theory. 1t is also
expected that the conference will fix a
date and place for the holding of a
national nominating convention.

The Julian Railroad.

In conversation with Mr.. Bailey, Of
Julian, Monday, that gentleman said
to us that all in his region, he thought,
were deeply interested in this work.
We hope SO, and we hope they will be
as liberal as enthusiastic. 1t is quite
safe now to say that the road will be
built, and built soon. On this sub
ject we have note from cores
pondent, "R. NJ. w." saying: "The
narrow gauge railroad to the Stone
wall mine has been fully determined
on. Mr.. r. Alison and Milton
Santee have just returned Ito
San Diego) from preliminary
survey, and state that no tunnel
ing will be required, and that the
ascent to the Villas Vegas will be
easily affected. This valley is on the
top of the mountain and widely and
familiarly known to the smallest child
in the county. The road for the pres
ent will end at Julian, the famous
mining camp which needs no portray
al or pictures in the shape of writing"
We believe that the most of the money
has been provided for this work, and
none can but hope for the early build
ing of the road. AS to its line Of travel
we have nothing outside Of the
above note. But il makes no
difference to our Julian friends
where or how it touches them,
so it touches. 1t will let out one
of the most valuable parts of the
county. While in Los Angeles the
other day, we met one of the propric-
tors of the San Felipe ranch, who said
he was much interested in the road
and hoped to have it run down the
clfion to that point, and thence to
Warmers. OF course, we DO not know
what will be done in that way, and es-
pecial as it is now stated the Southern
Pacific will touch Warmers leaving
the main line at spring about mid
way between Cotton and Yuma, and
thence to San Diego. This is only ro-
port. May be true or not.-[San
Diegan.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, October PA
shocking tragedy occurred at Max
we'll. Story county, last night. 1t ap-
pears that Harry Ackers, who COM
miited the cowardly murder, started
out last evening about 5 o'clock, bent
on destroying somebody. He bor-
rowed revolver from a hardware
store, on the pretence that he wanted
to shoot dog, but he went straight to
the office of the Justice of the Peace.
Schmetzer, and asking him if he was
ready to take his medicine, ad-
ministered it without further explain
alton, shooting him in the left lower
jaw, the ball passing down
and out by the shoulder blade.
He next entered the office of
Mayor French, and stealing up behind
him sent a bullet into his brain.
The Mayor never uttered a word, but
died within an hour. The murderer
then went into the street, his crimes
being as yet unknown, and meeting
several citizens, addressed them in y
threatening manner about settling up
old scores, brandishing his revolver
freely during the time. Passing on to
the entrance of the Odd Fellows hall,
he said "good bye" to the Postmaster,
remarking as he went that he was go-
ing to hell. He then shot himself, dy-
ing Immediately. Ackers was SHIFT
less fellow who had been for some
time an object of suspicion, but noone
expected such a startling tragedy as
the one that happened.

could be found of him, but they re-
turned the answer that they were un-
successful in their search.
